Overview
When stock is just "in the godown," every pick is a hunt and every count is a guess. Warehouse bins gives each batch a real address — which shelf, which bin — so your team puts away, picks, and moves stock by location instead of by memory. Cycle counts then let you check one bin at a time and catch shortages before they become a billing fight.

You can read the guide. An owner or manager flips this Capability on in settings — it then lights up across the app.
This is an opt-in Capability — the Owner enables it from the entitlements list. Heads up: it is not wired into the live app yet. The engine (locations, put-away, picks, cycle counts) is built, but it has no screen and is not in the enable list today. Treat this page as a preview; enablement and a web screen land in a later release.
Where to find it
There is no live page for warehouse bins yet. It does not appear in the sidebar, and the existing Warehouse screen (/warehouse) is a different feature — that one is the order pick / pack / stock workflow, not bin mapping. Once this Capability ships its screen, this section will point you to it. Web only; no mobile screen is planned for the first release.
Key concepts
- Location hierarchy — six levels, top to bottom: warehouse → zone → aisle → rack → shelf → bin. A bin is the leaf (the actual slot stock sits in); a warehouse is the root. Each location has a short code (like
A,01,B12) that must be unique among its siblings. - Bin capacity — only a bin can carry a capacity ceiling (units or kg). Set it and Neev blocks put-aways that would overflow the bin.
- Batch placement — a batch can sit in more than one bin (split across the floor), and a bin can hold more than one batch (mixed shelving). Each placement records how much of the batch is in that bin.
- Cycle count — counting one bin at a time on a rolling basis instead of shutting the godown for a full stocktake. Neev shows the system quantity, you enter what you actually counted, and it records the difference.
- Mismatch — the gap between counted stock and system stock for a bin (counted minus system). Zero means the bin tallies; anything else is a variance to explain.
Common workflows
Role notes
This Capability is Owner-only by default. All six permissions — view locations, create/edit locations, put-away, pick/move, perform cycle counts, and view cycle-count history — sit with the Owner. No other role (Warehouse, Manager, Operator) gets them out of the box, even though the work is warehouse-floor work. If you want a warehouse hand putting stock away under their own login, that's a custom-role grant the Owner would set up once the Capability is live.
Note that even the Owner does not hold these permissions today: the Capability is not yet registered in the live system, so the keys aren't active for anyone until the release that wires it in.
